Can I rent a movie in iTunes and then watch it in my car where I don't have an Internet connection?
Just wondering how to download a movie on the iPad and then take it in the car or on a plane and watch it... Is it possible to rent a movie on iTunes and then watch it elsewhere, where I don't have access to Internet?
Absolutely. You can rent or buy a movie in iTunes and once downloaded to your iPad, watch it without internet access. You can do this directly on your iPad. Open iTunes on your iPad. Browse, then buy or rent what you want. Once downloaded, your purchase will appear in your Video App, which was preloaded on your iPad.

How can I rent a movie from iTunes and watch it on my MacBook w/o being connected to internet?
Trying to figure ot how to rent movies from iTunes and watch w/o being connected to web. The dude at the apple store said that when I download it I can designate if I want it downloaded to my device (ie: MacBook) or my Cloud...but I don't see that option being given. Any help? Traveling Tues and I'd like to get a few movies set for my trip.
Just sync your iPad.

Hello bigblue8
Check out the following articles for troubleshooting access to the iTunes Store. The first one will probably get you started enough to get it taken care of. If it does not the follow up article should definitely solve it for you.

I rented a movie on iTunes and it now has filled my hard drive and has taken up all my harddrive space.....How can I remove the after math of the rented movie and fix this problem..? Oddly enough it does show the startup drive is not full.
In iTunes select the movie and hit Delete. Follow the prompts and then empty the trash.

Why I can't rent a movies in iTunes I'm using ipad2 and if I view movies in iTunes it's not available in migrating store
If you live in a country where the feature is not available, you will not be able to rent movies. Not all iTunez content is available worldwide.
You can see what is available where you live here.

Did you already ask this question earlier today and were you not told this already? Your screen name looks familiar and so does the question. -
I have rented a movie on iTunes and it says I'm running out of time to watch but it is not downloading the movie can someone help
It does take some time for a movie to download, could it still be downloading ? Also the rental tab is only there when you have rented a movie. If all else fails talk to iTunes support, they have helped me in the past.

I rented a movie from ITunes and it is on my IPad. I wanted to watch it on Apple TV however there is no airplay ap showing up. What should I do
That won't be possible. You can only view a rental on the device used to do so, unless it is done via computer (in which case you can stream using home sharing)

I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.
I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.
Hi Refvoxa,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to play or download a movie rental on your iPad, first restart your device:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
After your iPad restarts, try resuming the download again:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If the movie still does not appear in Downloads, and can't be played, I recommend reporting the issue with your purchase:

I rented a movie in iTunes and connected my iPad to transfer the movie to the iPad. The rental section will not pop-up and I have confirmed the movie is not an HD movie. Any suggestions on what to do next?
I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

HT1657 what do i do if i rented a movie on itunes and it just stopped in the middle?
i just rented a movie in itunes, and it stopped at 1:37. is there anything i can do to fix that?
Try quitting and restarting iTunes, and if that doesn't help restart your computer. If the movie still fails, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I rented a movie on itunes and it says that it is ready to watch but it will not play
I rented a movie on itunes and a message popped up that said it was ready to watch. When I click on the movie it freezes and does not move forward. What is the problem? I have a macbook pro
Have you tried signing out and then signing back into your account on the iPad? Settings>Store>Apple ID>Sign Out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account again and then see if the movie will sync.
Another thing that you can try is transfer purchases from your iPad to the iTunes library and then try to sync.
I realize that you want to sync a movie from iTunes on your computer to the iPad, but I am just trying to think of a way to "reset" your iTunes account and get everything back in order again.
You tried restarting the iPad and resetting it as well? Quitting iTunes, restart your computer and then try again?
One other thing that is really a long shot but you can try it - and it works for third party apps that are crashing - download an app - any free app - that is supposed to reset some security issue in your iTunes account and maybe that would work in this case. -
I rented a movie on iTunes and, really annoyingly, it has stopped 30 minutes before the end. Any suggestions? And how do I go about getting a refund? Thanks so much for any suggestions.
Hi alefiya,
Welcome to the Support Communities! It sounds like the movie didn't completely download. This link will get you in contact with the iTunes Support Team. They will be able to review your account with you:

I just bought Apple TV 2 weeks ago. I have a brand new Samsung LED TV. Everything works fine. I rented a movie from iTunes and it took 4 hours to download. My friend said this is wrong, his movies play instantly, so what's wrong?

Ok so I rented a movie on itunes and I want to watch it on my computer, not my iphone. How do I play it?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you rented the movie from your phone you will have to watch it from your phone. It is nontransferable.
